Why You Should Never Lock All Your Wealth into One Thing
I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. Now I make financial content for free, so you don't have to pay for it.
1. Your House is Not an ATM
Your home is not a financial plan or an ATM. Relying too heavily on it can lead to financial troubles down the line.
2. Challenges of Private Investments
Private investments might feel elite until you try to sell and hear nothing but crickets. Liquidity can be a real concern in these cases.
3. Evolving Goals
People evolve; your goals will change, and your money needs to keep up. Liquidity means freedom. And freedom is usually better than those new granite countertops you bought to impress people you never have over.
